Looks like we might have a new fan of Pokemon because of Detective Pikachu. And it’s one of the actors.
Bill Nighy has a role in the upcoming Detective Pikachu film, which he isn’t allowed to disclose but he has confirmed that he’s a live-action character.
Nighy didn’t know much about Pokemon as a whole before he was cast.
However, that’s new story now as he talks about his love for the Pokedex book.
“You can guess how much I knew about Pokemon before I did the movie. I know a bit more now. I met the head of Pokemon, the seventh richest man in the world, I think, and the man who drew all the Pokemon. And I bought the Pokedex, which is a fabulous book, actually. It was great fun.
It’s such a beautiful book. It’s got a plastic ball in the cover, with a Pikachu inside. I got very interested in the thing. In fact, I have two decorative panels made of plaster, to look like stone, with classical figures next to Pokemon figures. They look like ancient Grecian works of art. They were on the set and I admired them, so they gave them to me. I’m the only person in the world who has these things. I might have to Ebay them for charity or something.”
What do you think about Nighy’s journey into Pokemon? Any ideas on who he might be playing in the Detective Pikachu movie? Let us know in the comments.
